HFT & Clinical Cancer Trials

HFT is a powerful deep trance hypnosis technique that quickly gets to the core and releases or alters the subconscious patterns that are always the cause of any personal habit, emotional issue, and physical or mental health concern and pleasantly releases or re balances it within the mind. The special advanced techniques used and applied in “Hypnosis Field Therapy™” were developed and used in Rick’s “Hypnosis & Improvement in The Quality Of Life” cancer research conducted in 2005. Observational Priming is a powerful guided technique that enables participants discover their own individual inner power and become free from external programming and make correct judgements about their own lives and life’s direction.

It was the use of Ricks HFT techniques that produced such positive results for the participants in the 2005 Cancer Trails. Since 2005 the techniques have been further developed during thousands of hours of clinical experiments and research. Hypnosis Field Therapy™ is at the new frontier of hypnosis. HFT’s cutting edge hypnosis techniques were derived from years of clinical expertise and research. HFT is pure traditional hypnosis in its most powerful form, and is a Quantum Leap beyond the NLP, Ericksonian Hypnosis, and relaxation or visualisation techniques used by many of hypnotherapists. In conjunction with a Pharmacist colleague, Mr. Nathan Elliott, in 2005 Rick Collingwood conducted Australia’s first monitored clinical study to evaluate improvements in the quality of life, using hypnosis as an adjunct to conventional medical treatments. The participants of the trial were nine, medical doctor referred and monitored, volunteers suffering various types of cancers at various stages of progression. Both the Clinical and the experiential results were beyond all expectations.

Hypnosis does not cure cancer, and this trial was designed only to monitor improvements in the quality of life for cancer patients while they were using conventional medical cancer treatments, not to purport to or attempt to cure cancer. Never use any non medical cancer treatment without consulting your medical physician or oncologist. (All study participants were signed into the trail and monitored independently by their Medical Doctors).
